[@lelaadham454]

i love u for liking wes anderson

[@JoJoJoker]

The Life Aquatic gets a bad rap. It’s a true cult classic. The Royal Tenenbaums and Grand Budapest Hotel are modern classics. Looking forward to seeing The French Dispatch this weekend.

[@mackielunkey2205]

Royal Tenenbaums, Grand Budapest, and Fantastic Mr. Fox IMO represent the best Wes has to offer.

[@bummerfriend]

It's bad bro I hate it. Don't get your hopes up

[@glendarjj3991]

[@AxxLAfriku]

NO! NO! NO! Many people say I am sick in the head. NOOOO!!!! I don't believe them. But there are so many people commenting this stuff on my videos, that I have 1% doubt. So I have to ask you right now: Do you think I am sick in the head? Thanks for helping, my dear joel

[@ryanmartin6580]

Probably my favorite amongst Anderson’s filmography. I know it’s not the right answer, but this is peak Bill Murray for me and Wes Anderson’s dialogue just allows for him to do his own thing.

[@gomit4146]

Darjeeling Limited needs some more love, such a cozy and simple little movie and it’s up there as one of my favourite movies Wes has done.

[@campbell9825]

Darjeeling is so good I've never understood why so many people don't like it

[@FloralFidelity]

hard agree! as much heart & character nuance as tenenbaums

[@Marcusml333]

I had no clue that life aquatic and Darjeeling limited were some of Wes Andersons least popular films, they're my favorite of his films and are two of my fave movies in general.

[@jorgejribarra]

I love life aquatic, it's one of my very favorite movies and I do think it's underrated.

[@cormalan9894]

Darjeeling limited is definitely the best for me

[@brandynjohnson2248]

I never understood the bad reviews. I saw Life Aquatic in theaters when I was 18 and it was nearly a religious experience.

[@alisa-bg1wr]

Same!! Darjeeling Limited is my favorite and Life Aquatic is up there too. I didn't know they get unfavorable reviews. Shocking to me

[@hunterpowell5460]

While they are not on the top of my list, both Darjeeling and Life Aquatic are criminally underrated and I actually do prefer them over Wes Anderson's first two films. Bottle Rocket and Rushmore are still good but they are my least favorite compared to all the other movies he has made.

[@rutherford5025]

I think the reason a lot of people, particularly me, love Moonrise Kingdom so much is because of that child nostalgia it gives. I was twelve when I first saw this (and the first artsy film I ever watched as well) so a lot of love I have for it comes from that nostalgia and appreciation for something I had never experienced before, as well as the ability to really understand and empathize with the characters. I agree that there are better Wes Anderson films but my love for it kind of outshines all the others

[@z.s.r.h]

agreed!! it was the second wes anderson movie i saw but i was the same age as the characters and could really relate to their feelings of not quite fitting in with family/general angst lol, AND i had just started dating my first boyfriend who also loved it. i still really love watching it but i think Grand Budapest and FMF without fail are my favorites of his.

[@goatbusters1592]

I just really love that movie because i relate to the characters like suzy having anger issues and their neglectful parents and yeah the nostalgia, but sadly i was 14 when i first watched this movie only if i was 8 or summtin when i watched it, would be more nostalgia

[@tanlyann3094]

agree

[@P0lkoli]

I'll die on this hill, moonrise kingdom has the best athmosphere of all the wes Anderson films. It's my favourite and also brilliant in its subtlety. Very underrated and dare I say, this guy just doesn't get it

[@Antifearn]

Moonrise Kingdom is one of the best comfort films out there to me. I love the classical music soundtrack, the summery and retro aesthetic, and the simple story (carried by wonderful performances by both the adult and child actors). It doesn’t have the harshness or as many dark themes Anderson’s other films have, but is packed with charm, character, and emotion. I love Sam and Suzy’s relationship so much. If I could live in any film setting, it would be New Penzance Island (without the hurricane part).

[@JoJoAllen217]

The Grand Budapest Hotel was one of the last movies I watched with my mom before she passed. She loved it! It's one of my comfort blanket moves. Great video!

[@jerrygil1965]

[@kweentingz4428]

I freaking love that movie so muchhh

[@cathyyyy4593]

She had great taste in films

[@AndyChipling]

Yes true classic film

[@gravyo5124]

Moonrise Kingdom will always be one of my favourites as someone who has actually had a summer camp relationship as a young kid. I actually did the whole fake getting married thing and would run off to where the counsellors couldn’t see us for fun too. This movie weirdly perfectly captures the weird and somewhat awkward energy of that time so every time I watch it I get reminded of it and find it really funny

[@stargirl8444]

AWWWW

[@cicerodossantos5509]

Damn, that's like... Damn

[@drumline12ify]

I loved how perfectly Moonrise Kingdom captured the feel of the mid 60's...the attitudes, sentiments, attire and music of the time. I was 14 in '65 and never got to go to summer camp (although I really wanted to and knew a lot of kids that did, including my sister) and I found the camping scenes to be wonderful and hilarious. The general plot paralleled with my own life and various people I knew at that time, the writing was excellent as well as the cast but it's the soundtrack, in addition to everything I've already mentioned that makes it my FAVORITE Wes Anderson film!

[@gabrielpasquino4270]

My man has been doing the "young child falls in love with older women" thing since Rushmore, Isle of Dogs is another example in a kinda weird pattern. i think it ties in with the whole precious young child thing, and doomed love (also fuck yeah French Dispatch rules)

[@Nora-wl7yr]

i thought that the boy and girl in isle of dogs were about the same age? shes a student

[@selinbuyukcengiz6873]

@@Nora-wl7yr I think so too, its either that or he is a couple years younger than her (like 12&15). Either way it is way less creepy than the teacher-student thing going on on Rushmore.

[@itsthemaggieshow]

Aww! That must’ve meant so much to you. I’m not a dog person but I felt like i was one watching that film

[@Nimajneb42069]

I find myself scanning the screen and finding something new to see in so many of his shots. Such an incredible director

[@Jack-np2qz]

Can't believe you put Moonrise Kingdom at 10. Dude, I think the story is amazing with Wes talking about young love, losing child ignorance, and how the children are terrified to become their parents. So I don't know how you could put this at the bottom.

Exactly. There are some lists where it’s suuuper predictable what number one will be (ranking the Halloween franchise, for instance). With Wes, it’s always anyone’s guess how it’ll be ordered.

[@KC-ej4mc]

Mr. Fox will always be one of my favourite films as well. it's funny, sweet, poignant and I never get tired of watching it. each time I return to it I find myself empathizing or identifying more with a certain character depending on where I'm at in my life and I think that's beautiful:)

[@orconoftime]

"I love you, but you don't know what you're talking about"

Could not disagree more on "Moonrise Kingdom." Incredibly vibrant visuals, melodrama from the 50s ala Douglas Sirk, and just a gorgeous soundtrack by Alexandre Desplat.

[@stephengrigg5988]

It also has what is most likely Bruce willis' last great performance

[@nicklarsenjazz]

Moonrise Kingdom is in my top five for sure

[@chataclysm2112]

the darjeeling limited is my favorite wes film, but moonrise kingdom is a very close second even though I've only seen it once. it may very well be the definitive depiction of childlike innocence on screen.

[@goshdangitmaria4567]

The Darjeeling Limited gets me every time. Something about the emotional journey of that movie and the chemistry between the main trio as their relationships unravel and mend back and forth just hits home in a weird way. Its problems are many, don't get me wrong, but it's still one of my favorite films of all time.

[@maxresdefault_]

I went into Life Aquatic knowing it's cult status but left feeling a little disappointed. Went into Darjeeling expecting nothing and loved it too bits. Mad how a director infamous for making the same type of movie over and over can have each one feel so genuinely unique. Show me a single frame from each of his movies and each one will fill me with a different emotion.

[@wosso3342]

I feel like The French Dispatch, much like The Life Aquatic, will become a cult classic over time. It's simply not like anything being released today and that is compared to his other work. combining the classic French film making style and Wes's own filmmaking style will just turn people off for some time if they don't already know and love both of those styles and I think it will grow on people as long as they give it a second chance.

[@olliemartinelli4034]

I completely agree. I haven't seen it yet but it kind've reminds me of when Once upon a time in Hollywood came out. People branded it as boring, too long but failed to appreciate the absolute masterpiece that it is, and missed the point. I would be surprised if that film doesn't go down as an ultime classic despite it not having had overwhelming success. The French dispatch will have a similar outcome. I just don't think movies of such a big scale can be forgotten or unappreciated.

[@SharkMinnow]

@@olliemartinelli4034 could not finish watching FD today...awful, and I studied film in university.

[@killergoose7643]

I agree, I loved it. But I also think it’s a line in the sand for a lot of people. It seems like impressions are far more polarized than most of Anderson’s previous films and many people who were on the fence about his style have finally check out, and they don’t care enough anymore to give it serious consideration. Which is fine, if it’s not your cup of tea then it’s not your cup of tea, but I think people are being too hard on it. I hope its reputation grows like Life Aquatic and Darjeeling Limited have, but I have a feeling it’s going to remain a “love it or hate it” movie.

[@ianbeach23]

The Royal Tenenbaums is one of my favorite movies of all time. Owen Wilson doesn’t get enough credit for how good of a screenwriter he is IMO. Don’t get me wrong, all of Wes Anderson’s movies have great scripts, but I think his first three are clearly some of if not the best ones in Anderson’s filmography and The Royal Tenenbaums is to me, unquestionably the best. It perfectly balances everything that makes Wes Anderson’s movies great. The aesthetic is beautiful but not overpowering the rest of the movie, the script is effectively dramatic (actually got me to cry the first time I saw it) while also being very funny, whereas most of his movies I think lean on the humor a little bit more. Some of the best wardrobe design I’ve ever seen in a movie, honestly rivals Pulp Fiction in that matter. One of my favorite soundtracks ever. Margot is one of my favorite movie characters ever. The movie just explores childhood and the feeling that your family is growing apart in such an honest, and beautifully melancholy way. It’s genuinely a near perfect movie in my opinion and I think it’s maybe one of the best movies in recent memory.

I think Wes Anderson movies are so quirky and uniquely eccentric that they're naturally completely divisive amongst his fans. My two favourites are Bottle Rocket and Isle of Dogs!!

i really resonated with what you had to say about The Life Aquatic, that and the Royal Tenenbaums were my first two movies of his that made me forever love him at like age 9, and i feel like both are overlooked.

[@ludmilamatos3365]

maybe not the topic, but that video of yours on fantastic mr fox is really great! On my first semester i had to do a paper on an animation and i chose the movie and quoted you and the video, it was a succes and i ace it, so thank you!

Next list has to be a Miyazaki list, I'm really curious what Karsten has to say about his films.

I thoroughly enjoyed the childishness of The Life Aquatic. The part where Steve is showing us around his big, expensive yet cobbled-together boat like a child excited to show you their favourite toy is brimming with a sense of childlike wonder that I think has been integral to most of Anderson's films. Fantastic Mr. Fox, Isle of Dogs and the Darjeeling Limited especially tackle this kind of childishness, and it can be seen as a theme in the background in all of his work. The Life Aquatic captured that childishness perfectly in my opinion, and especially the juxtaposition of Steve Zissou being an old man acting childishly - lashing out at reporters, sulking when he hears people talking about him - and his estranged son Ned, the younger of the two, being far more mature than him.

Def agree about budapest hotel being accessibilee, it was my first wes Anderson and I loved it

[@MiguelRCSConta]

I never watched any of his movies, but this inspired me to!

[@eatatjoes6751]

I want to watch Fantastic Mr. Fox again. It's just an awesomely done adaptation of the story.

[@SilverShine-tr5kr]

Finally someone agrees with me about Isle of Dogs! Didn't understand the hype from it.

[@ghostface_tardis]

My favourite is Fantastic Mr Fox. As much as I rewatch I never get bored and always find something new from it.

I NEEDED THIS

[@enzopaes9388]

Rushmore is undoubtedly the most underrated it is truly one of my favorite comedies oat

[@roxy2698]

Am I the only one that thinks the Darjeeling Limited is one of the best ones?? I didn’t realise people didn’t like it

[@jacobsbowling]

Ok ok watched the full video. Sad to see the darjeeling limited so low but pretty understandable for the others. Sick video

[@lightningbones1092]

I love the Darjeeling Limited. I love the soundtrack, and I love that the plot is more straight forward than something like the Grand Budapest or the French Dispatch.
